I have a habit of saving messages in files called xmail/foo.xmail, etc.,
all being lower case.  Since these file names are entered solely
by users, I think we cannot assume they all follow any rule.

But as regards ~/xmail vs ~/XMAIL for the default, ISTR that during
the transition to mbox format I saw an advantage in making the default
different.  But in fact the current Rmail deals just fine with saving
into Babyl files, so I now think it is better to keep the default
unchanged from Emacs 22.
